MAY 22
MAY 23
Last spring, with the health and safety of the campus and the Georgetown/Scott County community in mind, Georgetown College made the difficult decision not to hold an in-person commencement ceremony celebrating the Class of 2020.
This May, though, thanks to the diligent work of faculty, staff, coaches, students, and community members, the College held in-person commencement ceremonies on May 22 and May 23 to celebrate the Class of 2021 as well as the Class of 2020 and all their accomplishments.
The College conferred degrees to approximately 130 undergraduates on May 22, On May 23, the College then celebrated the achievement of master’s degree candidates, conferring approximately 60 master’s degrees to students.
The ceremony on May 22 marked President Will Jones’s first commencement as Georgetown College’s president.
“Students, you successfully navigated the many difficulties of this past year,” said President Jones. “In spite of all the historical challenges you faced, you still excelled. It is an honor and a privilege for Georgetown College to affirm you in the moments ahead as graduates and alumni of the College.”
The commencement address was delivered by Kenny Davis ’71. Davis, a member of the College’s Board of Trustees, played basketball at GC and famously captained the USA Basketball Team at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. He used his experience at the Olympics and throughout his career to remind graduates that life is short and to not take anything for granted.
“Let me also remind you to keep making and seeing those wildest dreams come true,” said Davis. “Because I can tell you that’s what makes life exciting, that’s what makes it enjoyable, that’s what makes it special.”
Congratulations to the Classes of 2020 and 2021!
